Project 6 - Surrealism and Photomontage

For this project, we used our own photos in Photoshop to create a photomontage. I experimented by adding several editing layers to the picture and cutting out different aspects from several pictures and placing them on the background. I also added a texture downloaded from the internet, and worked with manipulating it to go better with the content in the montage.

Surrealism is a literary and artistic movement that began in the 1920's that started the creation of art that shows the work of the subconscious and focuses mainly around imagery that contrasts dream-like ideas with those of reality. The subject matter in surrealist art is often very contradictory, or illogical. Though this ideas began in the early 1920's, it quickly spread and grew, becoming a global movement. Surrealism changes appeared around the world in paintings, visual arts, film, music, and even literature. In some cases, From this movement rose several famous surrealist artists including André Breton, Yves Tanguy, Marcel Duchamp, Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, and René Magritte.
